 Version CVS HEAD (?)
 
+  * packaging changes:
+    - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
+      causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
+      "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
+      (patch by Alexis Ballier)
+    - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
+
   * general changes:
     - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
       load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
       (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
     - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
       plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
+    - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
+    - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
+      unnecessarily long after an update
+    - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
+      events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
+      of gigedit)
+    - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
+    - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
+    - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
+      is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
+      implementation, which is usually faster)
+    - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
 
   * audio driver:

       opposed to the LSCP specs
     - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
       reflected the wrong value
+    - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
+    - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
+    - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of thedeprecated
+      jack_client_new
+
+  * MIDI driver:
+    - added JACK MIDI driver
+    - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
+      want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
+      input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
 
   * instruments database:
     - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
       to the instruments database
+    - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
+
+  * Gigasampler format engine:
+    - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
+      while notes were playing
+    - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
+      isn't running
+    - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
+      enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
+    - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
+      respective FX send MIDI controller was used
+    - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
+      (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
+      whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
+      connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
+      on)
+    - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
+      sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
+      be played
+    - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
+      which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
+      drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
+      part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
+      LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
+      defined for the sampler
+
+  * LSCP server:
+    - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
+      react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
+      Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
+    - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
+      react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
+      Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
+    - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
+      SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
+    - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
+      was incorrect
+
+  * Bug fixes:
+    - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
+      to start instrument loading after another channel
